How it works

The Olababy Soft Spout swaps onto the GentleBottle collar in place of the nipple, giving the same bottle a silicone drinking spout that stays soft to the touch. The bottle body, collar and grip do not change; only the shape of the tip is different.

Why parents choose it

  • All-silicone spout with the softness of a nipple
  • Swaps onto the collar already on your GentleBottle
  • Fits every GentleBottle size
  • Introduces spout drinking on a bottle your baby knows

Who it is for

Good fit for
  • A soft spout on a GentleBottle for a baby moving off the nipple, tagged 6 to 12 months and bottle-to-cup.
  • A baby who rejects an unfamiliar cup but accepts their own bottle.
  • A GentleBottle owner adding one part rather than a whole cup.
Not right for
  • Anyone without a GentleBottle.
  • A straw or open cup step.
  • A hard spout sippy, which this deliberately is not.

A soft silicone spout is a gentle first step away from the nipple for babies who aren't ready for a hard sippy, this one keeps the transition on the same familiar bottle.

More about this one

Soft spout or hard spout: which is easier for a breastfed baby?

It varies from baby to baby, and the Olababy Soft Spout is the soft option. It is all silicone with the softness of a nipple, and it goes on the same GentleBottle a breastfed baby may already take, so the bottle body and grip stay familiar while only the tip changes. Many families start spout drinking around 6 months.

Does the soft spout need its own collar?

No. The Olababy Soft Spout uses the collar that comes with every GentleBottle, the same ring that holds the nipple, so moving between nipple and spout needs no extra parts. The spout fits all GentleBottle sizes, and the bottle body you already own stays in use.

What is included

1 soft spout. Fits all GentleBottles and attaches with the GentleBottle collar.

How to clean it

Dishwasher safe (top rack).

More questions (6)

Will this work for a breastfed baby?

The GentleBottle system was designed specifically for breastfed babies, with a soft squeezable body and off-center nipple that mimics a natural latch to reduce bottle refusal.

When should babies stop using bottles, and how do we wean?

Pediatric feeding specialists suggest weaning off the bottle by 12 to 18 months, and gradual works best. The GentleBottle Transitional Set moves from nipple to teether handle to sippy lid on the same familiar bottle, so your baby changes one skill at a time: the sippy lid turns it into a soft-spout cup for the transition from bottle to sippy cup, and open-cup practice can start around 6 months.

Is this safe for my baby?

Yes. Olababy feeding products are made from 100% high-purity food-grade silicone with no fillers, free of BPA, PVC, lead, and phthalates, and tested to FDA food-contact standards.

How do I clean and sterilize it?

Silicone products are dishwasher safe (top rack) and can be sterilized in boiling water or a steam sterilizer. Air-dry fully before storing.

    It’s good but could use improvement

    My baby struggled with this a lot and I ended up going straight to the straw. The issue in my opinion is that the spout is wide and harder than the usual nipples.

When can a baby start baby led weaning?

Why does letting a baby feed themselves matter?

Leslie Schilling, a registered dietitian nutritionist and co-author of a book on baby led weaning, writes in Today's Dietitian that self feeding is a natural first step that can build feeding confidence and oral skills, and can help prevent overfeeding.

Does baby led weaning help a baby learn when they are full?

Laura Lucas, a senior clinical dietitian at Texas Children's Hospital, says one of the main benefits of baby led weaning is that it helps babies learn to recognise their own satiety levels, and that with proper handling and supervision it is safe for most babies who are developmentally ready.

What skills is a baby practising when they feed themselves?

Kimberly Churbock, a physician writing for Cleveland Clinic, describes a baby picking up a piece of food, bringing it to their mouth, manipulating it, chewing and swallowing, and notes that all of those actions require fine motor skills and oral motor skills.

What if my baby is unsure about a new texture?

Amy Klein, an occupational therapist at Cincinnati Children's, writes that for a baby who is not sure about a new taste or texture, self feeding gives them control to manipulate it in their mouth and swallow it or not, and that it also aids hand eye coordination.
